-Brading Software Message Board +--Forum: Bookmark Converter Suggestions +---Topic: Phoenix support too! started by Dan Pettus Posted by: Dan Pettus on Nov. 16 2002,02:23 FYI. Myself and may others are starting to try out the new Phoenix browser. To quote the project homepage at < http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/ > ---------------------QUOTE------------------- Phoenix is a redesign of the Mozilla browser component, similar to Galeon, K-Meleon and Chimera, but written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform. ---------------------QUOTE------------------- Because of this, many Mozilla users, myself included, will be moving back and forth between Mozilla and Phoenix and I figured that Bookmark Converter would make that easier. I know 3.0 now recognizes the toolbar folder per browser and syncs accordingly, i.e. Links, Personal Toolbar Folder... Although Phoenix is a redesign of Mozilla, the designers have decided to call the toolbar folder a Bookmarks Toolbar Folder. It turns out that the Phoenix browser actually doesn't care about this difference. I converted Mozilla bookmarks to Phoenix bookmarks (as type Mozilla) successfully. So, as it turns out, BMC supports Phoenix as well. You may want to do some more testing, but if all works well, it may me good to mention Phoenix support on the home page. Posted by: Magnus Brading on Nov. 16 2002,14:17 Yes, I have heard about this browser before, and people have said that BMC works fine with it. I figured that the people who use Phoenix probably know that it is very similar to Mozilla, but I should probably mention it anyway, you are right. When you say the following: ---------------------QUOTE------------------- Although Phoenix is a redesign of Mozilla, the designers have decided to call the toolbar folder a Bookmarks Toolbar Folder. It turns out that the Phoenix browser actually doesn't care about this difference. ---------------------QUOTE------------------- I guess that you mean that if Phoenix finds a folder called "Personal Toolbar Folder", it accepts this as the toolbar folder too? Could you send me a sample Phoenix bookmark file, so I can take a look at it (even though they are practically identical to Mozilla bookmark files)? end |
